A
Regiment
for
the
Plague
,
takene
out
of
Fuchsius
.
IF
there
appeare
certaine
and
manifest
signes
of
the
plague
(
if
nothinge
elles
maye
let

then
straight
waye

Pacient

that
syde
where
the

If

in

If
it
be
in
the

pittes
,
then
the
inner
vayne
of
the

,
whiche
belongeth
to
the
Lyuer

If
there
appere
no

then
in
the
same
side
where
greatest
grefe
is
felt
.
But
in
what
maner
of
veyne
,
the
sorenes
of
the
parts
greued
,
shall
shewe
&
declare
.
For
if
the
parts
aboue
the
stomacke
be
most
greued
&
afflicted
then
the
sholder
veine
if
the
partes
beneath

more
molested
&
troubled
the
inner
or
middel
vein
of
the

but
the
baser
parts
being
most
annoied
,
then
the

And

If

let

or
the

or
the
backe
,
or
the
thighes
be
bored
after
the
maner
as
was
prescribed
in

If

For

of

Amonge

Electua
de

.
is
speciallye
praysed
,
an
electuarye
vnto
the
good
Apothecaries
not
vnknowen
.
Why
I
doe
preferre
thys
almoste
before
all
other
the
wounderfull
effecte
and
power
thereof
hath
caused
,
the
whyche
it
hath
often
times
shewen
in
manye
pacientes
,
and
because
it
is
easye
to
be
gotten
,
and
hathe
trewe
and
lawefull
symples
that
goe
to
the
composition
thereof
,
sauynge
the
roote
of
Dictamnus

,
in

wherof
better
it
is
to
take
the
leaues
of
true
Dictanmus
,
or
in
stede
of
it
Sage
.
Of
thys
electuarye
is
gyuen
to
theym
that
are
growen
to
strengthe
by
yeares
the
weyght
of
one
dramme
.
But
for
the
yonger
two
thyrdedeales
of
a
Dragme
do
suffice
.
But
it
muste
be
dissolued
in
the
water
of
Roses
,
or
of
Endiue
,
or
of
Scabiose
.
The
vse
also
of
this
medicine
is
not
to
be
neglected
in
preseruing
,
if
dayly
you
take
thereof
the
weyght
of
one
grayne

or
of
two
Barley
graynes
,
or
the

The

of
this
Potion
also
doeth
much
good
.
A

Take
of
Andromachus
triacle
two
thyrdedeales
of

,
of
Mithridation
one
thyrdedeale
of

of

Howe

to

away
the
Plague
,
Galene
in
his
nynth
booke
of
the
faculties
of
simple
medicaments
doth
abundauntly
declare
,
who
writeth
that
in
a
great
Pestilence
which
waxed
cruell
at
Rome
,
all
that
euer

of
this

Wherefore
in

The
pouder
that
next
foloweth
in
Fuchsius
because
these
other
two
medicines
be
of
so
great
efficacie
,
I
omit
as
not
necessarye
.
Some
one
therefore
of
the
two
former
beinge
taken
,
let
the
diseased
partye
bee
layed
in
bedde
,
well
heate
wyth
some
Scaldabetto
in
soft
shetes
,
and
well
couered
with
clothes
,
that
there
he
maye
sweate
Sweate
.
foure
or
fyue
houres
as
hys
strength
maye
beare
.
If
that
this
waye
sweate
wyll
not
come
,
heate
Tyles
or
Brickestones
in
the
fyer
,
and
laye
to
the
soles
of
his
feete
.
For
they
with
speede
wyll
cause
a
sweating
.
But
in
all
the
tyme
of
the
sweate
,
we
muste
take
diligent
héede
that
the
party
neither
sleepe
,
eate
,
nor
drynke
.
After
this
sweate
,
What
after
sweate
must
be
done
.
let
the
Pacient
be
wyped
with
cleane
lynnen
clothes
.
Then
if
he
will
and
can
let
him
arise
out
of
his
bedde
keping
in
,
for
that
tyme
in
the
same
chamber
.
But
let
the
chamber
foure
or
fyue
tymes
a
daye
be
amended
and
purged
with
fragrant
and
swéete
smelling
things
.
The
emending
of
the
ayre
.
Good
it
is
to
change
chambers
in
the
continuance
of
his
syckenes
,
bycause
the
ayre
of
one
chamber
beyng
corrupt
by
the
continuaunce
of
the
pacient
cannot
easely
be
bettered
.
And
let
the
chamber
whyther
he
goeth
be
fyrst
perfumed
.
Of
what
sorte
the
perfumes
ought
to
be
,
we
will
afterward
declare
.
After
sweate
two
or
three
houres
,
When
meat
must
be
gyuen
.
offer
the
patient
the
broothe
of
some
pullet
as
he
shal
be
able
to
beare
it
,
&
let
it
be
often
times
don
.
For
he
must
be
strengthened
by
litle
&
litle
.
Wherefore
it
is
good
for
him
often
to
eate
,
but
yet
very
litle
.
And
such
as
ar
thus
meated
shall
soner
recouer
then
other
.
He
may
also
eate
the
fleshe
of
pullettes
boiled
with
sorell
sance
,
Wherewith
we
must
kepe
him
waking
.
or
the
iuice
of
limons
,
or
vergrise
.
The
pacient
also
the
first
daye
must
be
kept
from
slepe
with
talke
,
or
exhortation
,
or
noise
,
or
with
rubbing
the
eares
or
nofe
or
with
pulling
by
the
heare
.
His
drinke
.
To
thys
purpose
it
shall
not
be
absurde
to
put
vnto
his
nostrels
a
spong
dipped
in
stronge
vinaigre
.
In
his
greate
thyrste
you
may
vse
this
potion

Preseruing
from
the
plague
Auoyding
is
surest
.
Let
this
suffise
for
the
curynge
of
suche
as
are
taken
wyth
the
plague
.
Nowe
howe
one
maye
preserue
hymselfe
from
the
plague
that
infesteth
any
one
place
we
wyll
declare
.
Syth
the
plague
is
not
ingendred
but
by
feachynge
in
by
breathynge
a
pestylent
and
rotten
ayre
:
certayne
it
is
that
there
is
no
remedye
more
presente
then
auoydynge
.
For
there
is
no
meane
to
be
quyte
oute
of
the
pestylente
ayre
,
excepte
we
go
vnto
some
place
where
the
ayre
is
not
vitiate
and
corrupte
.
The
which
thing
is
so
muche
the
moore
spedily
to
be
done
,
as
this
mischiefe
is
contagious
and
daungerous
for
infection
,
as
dayly
experience
doth
shewe
.
We
muste
auoyde
also
farre
of
,
that
is
to
witte
,
into
some
place
where
we
know
that
the
ayre
is
yet
pure
.
Neither
must
we
retourne
home
,
but
with
good
leasure
.
Wherefore
the
people
is
wont
to
saye
,
that
there
is
more
helpe
in
these
thre
wordes
,
Some
,
Farre
,
and
Late
,
then
in
three
Apoticaries
shoppes
right
wel
instructed
and
trimmed
.
Wherfore
they
who
for
their
functions
and
offices
maye
commodiously
,
let
them
not
staye
in
the
corrupt
ayre
.
If
they
do
they
shal
basarde
them selues
with
the
daunger
.
For
(
as
Galene
testifieth
writing
vnto
Piso
of
Triacle
)
the
Plague
as
a
sauage
beast
strayeth
and
slayeth
not
few
,
but
some
tyme
euen
whole
cities
.
For
a
certaine
euil
chaunge
of
the
ayre
vnto
corruption
is
sodden
,
and
men
,
when
by
necessitie
of
breathe
fetching
there
,
they
can
not
auoyde
the
peryll
,
do
drawe
into
them
by
the
mouth
the
ayre
,
as
a
certain
poyson
.
Wherefore
(
sayeth
Galene
)
I
must
needes
prayse
Hippocrates
a
man
praise
worthy
for
many
causes
,
whiche
depelled
the
plague
that
inuaded
Grece
out
of
Ethiopia
,
by
none
other
meanes
than
by
chaunging
and
altering
the
constitution
of
the
ayre
,
that
suche
and
the
same
mighte
no

When
therefore
he
had
commaunded
fyer
to
be
made
thorowe
all
the
citie
of
Athenes
,
he
aduised
not
them
to
burne
woode
only
,
but
to
cherishe
the
fier
with
Garlands
and
flowers
,
and
sweete
herbes
dryed
,
and
to
caste
on
fatte
and
fragrant
incenses
,
that
men
might
drawe
breath
depured
by
this
meane
.
Thus
he
.
This
place
of
Galene
haue
I
recited
,
that
all
men
maye
hereby
euidently
knowe
,
that
the
chaunge
and
alteration
of
the
place
by
the
consent
of
all
the
best
Phisitions
is
the
speciallest
remedie
.
But
it
is
not
vnknowen
that
in
thys
tyme
there
be
some
churlishe
men
,
Agaynst
certayn
precise
Diuines
.
and
to
full
of
maners
,
and
verye
Stoikes
,
which
crye
oute
,
that
the
godly
and
the
Christian
ought
not
to
feare
death
,
and
much
lesse
to
auoide
it
,
&
therfore
would
not
that
we
should
harken
vnto
phisitians
coumsel
.
Trimme
men
surely
,
who
require
that
of
vs
,
the
which
no
holy
one
,
no
not
Christ
hymself
as
man
colde-performe
,
when
the
scripture
doth
wytnes
him
to
haue
feared
death
.
And
that
good
men
haue
dreadded
it
,
it
is
no
meruale
,
syth
it
is
engraffed
in
vs
by
god
to
defend
our
lyfe
,
&
to
auoyde
death
.
Therefore
Paule
writing
to
the
Ephesians
the
fourth
saieth
.
No
man
euer
hated
his
owne
flesh
,
but
rather
nourisheth
,
&
cherisheth
it
.
But
the
saints
did
feare
&
shone
death
,
is
euident
by
many
examples
of
the
scripture
.
Abraham
for
feare
of
death
called
Sara
hys
wife
his
sister
.
Iacob
fearyng
death
,
fled
from
hys
brother
Esau
into
Mesopotamia
.
Dauid
desyrynge
to
saue
hys
lyfe
auoyded
Saulle
and
Absalom
.
The
moste
stowte
and
hardye
Propheete
Elias
,
when
the
Prophetes
of
Baall
were
slayne
,
beyng
feared
with
the
threateninges
of
Iesebell
the
queene
fledde
into
deserte
.
Moyses
,
when
he
was
sought
for
of
the
king
of
the
Egyptiames
,
with
fleeing
into
Midia
prouided
both
for
hym selfe
&
hys
life
.
But
these
manerly
men
will
saye
,
the
these
examples
do
not
teach
that
that
death
that
the
plague
bringeth
but
that
which
foloweth
persecution
ought
to
be
auoyded
.
To
whom
I
aunswere
againe
that
death
is
deathe
of
what
cause
so
euer
it
commeth
.
God
amonge
other
afflictions
numbreth
famine
,
the
whiche
if
we
may
auoyde
:
why
maye
we
not
also
the
plague
?
But
the
Abraham
Isaac
,
&
Iacob
auoyded
famine
is
more
manifest
,
then
that
we
nede
any
longe
rehersall
therof
.
If
that
we
may
flée
no
punishementes
by
god
layed
vpon
vs
:
then
no
Christian
may
eschewe
the
Turke
&
other
tirannes
whom
we
knowe
to
be
the
scourges
of
god
,
&
therefore
do
they
amisse
which
for
sake
townes
and
vilages
when
they
approche
.
With
like
reason
,
yf
an
house
be
fyred
no
man
shall
runne
oute
to
slacke
the
burning
.
For
no
man
will
deny
,
but
that
fire
is
to
be
accounted
among
gods
afflictions
.
Beside
this
he
the
falleth
into
the
waters
,
shall
not
prouide
for
himself
by
swimming
,
but
shal
suffer
with
good
wyll
the
waters
to
take
away
hys
lyfe
.
Finally
anye
parte
of
the
body
beyng
wounded
,
or
bene
broken
,
the
Christian
shall
not
require
the
Surgeons
help
,
for
he
shall
abyde
Gods
punishment
.
No
man
with
clothing
and
suche
other
thinges
and
meanes
,
shall
defende
the
colde
as
being
gods
crosse
.
What
need
manye
wordes
?
No
Christian
by
this
reason
shal
be
so
bolde
as
to
vse
any
kynde
of
remedie
against
any
kynde
of
disease
,
because
no
kynde
of
disease
is
not
to
be
counted
amonge
Gods
visitations
.
That
the
godly
then
maye
not
feare
death
is
thus
to
be
taken
,
that
they
ought
not
to
discourage
with
the
feare
of
death
,
and
commit
synne
to
auoyde
it
,
and
in
death
to
dispaire
.
For
there
are
bookes
of
the
best
diuines
of
our
time
Martine
Luthere
,
&
Brentius
,
wherewith
the
dreames
of
suche
Stoikes
are
refuted
,
whose
iudgementes
I
set
more
by
then
by
an
hundred
others
.
Wherefore
I
let
passe
these
&
such
other
obiections
of
these
dreamers
,
&
returne
vnto
my
purpose
.
If
that
by
iuste
and
lawful
causes
thou
maiest
not
eschew
the
place
then
do
thy
diligence
,
that
thy
house
wherein
thou
must
abide
be
voide
of
all
stench
filth
and
brutture
.
Let
the
wyndowes
of
the
same
be
closed
,
&
specially
in
closse
&
rayny
daies
,
that
the
pestilent
aire
enter
not
.
But
if
thou
wilt
open
any
let
them
be
toward
the
easte
or
the
North
and
let
it
be
done
when
the
sun
is
some
what
highe

Purgation
.
We
must
purge
our

also
with
purgations
if
the
thing
so
require

&
that
principally
in

Nowe
remaineth
there
to

the
preserue
emonge
the
whiche
be
Rufus
pilles
which
be
called
the
common
pilles
or
pils
for
the

.
Take
of
Aloe
iecoraria
two
parts
,
of
Saffron
and
mirrhe
,
of
eche
one
part
,
&
with
scabiose
water
,
or
white
wyne
make
youre
pilles
,
whereof
daylye
take
one
thyrdedeale
of
a
Dramme
or
a
lytle
more
or
lesse
accordyng
as
age
and
strength
requireth
.
Although
shoppes
doe
call
this
composition
Rufus
pils
:
yet
is
it
different
fro
the
that
Rufus
once
prescribed
.
But
these
pilles
which
the
shoppes
do
vse
,
for
the
Aloe
and
mirrhe
that
much
do
with
stande
putrefaction
,
haue
great
efficacie
againste
the
infection
of
the
plague
and
therefore
ar
not
to
be
neglected
.
We
maye
also
often
vse
the
pylles
whyche

You
may

vse
the
electuarye
called
Electuarium

,
the

whereof
I
omitte
because
it
is
longe

and
bycause

Apothecarye
yf

Bole
Armenye
also
taken
wyth

But
bycause

it
is
to

Terra

yf

Sanguis

Triacle

Mithridatium

Thys

I
translated

and
although
all
cannot
with
their

folow

yet
may
they
espye
the
generall
way

Wherefore
as
farre
forth
as
thou
canst
seke
the
ordinaunces
of

neglecte
not
